I've blogged off and on over the last few months but didn't stay with it. Recently I issued myself a 60day challenge to follow my rules 100%. To help ensure this I took out $600 from the bank, in $10 bills. Those bills are in a money clip on my computer desk. Next to the bills is a "Good Boy!" jar and a "Bad Boy!" jar.
Each day that I follow my rules exactly 100%, I put a $10 bill in the good boy jar. Every 20 days I will reward myself with an item I've been wanting. For each day I follow my rules less than 100% I will put a $10 bill in the bad boy jar. Each time I do this I will fold the bill into an airplane at the end of the day and randomly throw it. Out my car window, off a balcony, at the mall, wherever. Pleasure and pain to keep me on the right track.
For 3 days now I've followed my rules 100%. Which is a small feat in itself, considering I haven't followed my rules 100% AT ALL in the last 6 months of trading. Not even one time, until now. So so far, so good.
My method is scalping the NY session. From this point on I will post my journal both to my blog and to here.
